Aside from the obvious issue of biological sex does not equal gender, I find gender reveal parties to be so selfish and is just another excuse to make your family and friends pony up a gift. I had a friend who sent an invitation to her gender reveal party which included a line about how there would also be a shower…

Don’t ever resist. In a world where we burn down forests because you can only announce that your baby has a dick with explosions, we need all the humor we can get.

Yes, because, fires aside, it’s really creepy to fixate on the immature genitalia of an unborn child. Forcing friends and family to attend a “party” to join you in your obsession is weirder. Finally, calling it a “gender” reveal party is weird af since gender is one thing you have no damn clue about before the actual…

Yeah, Cardi B is very interested in politics and extremely knowledgeable about american history. She talks about it a lot, and it’s clearly something she studies (if you doubt me, check the interview Cardi did with our own Caity Weaver a few years back). People, like Candace Owens, who express shock or doubt that…

So did the doctor tell you the gender after he pulled his pants up?

I am also on board with ending: wedding showers, baby showers, new dog showers, housewarming where I am expected to bring something other than food or booze, vow renewals...there are probably a few I’m forgetting.  Anything where bunco is likely to be played.  Hard pass.

We’re so excited to find out what set of outdated cultural expectations our baby will be subjected to, neither drought nor pandemic will stop us from blowing something up!!

A friend of mine is very type A, controlling. When she was pregnant, she was getting a little bitchy because she didn’t know the sex of the baby yet. I finally asked her what was up, and she said, “Because I’m a planner. I need to plan the next years of our lives!” This was her THIRD kid.

Can we end gender reveal parties? Please?

I’m not into Cardi B’s music, but she was a pretty outspoken Bernie stan so I think it’s good she’s throwing in on Biden. That interview could have been a disaster but it reads pretty respectful on both sides. We lost the division between politics and pop culture for good when they started going on late night talk…

I have no time for Cardi B and her antics but do recognize her influence and hope that she does put effort into getting out the vote

I’ve been noticing a trend at work (a NFP healthcare org) that whenever I email the other NFP agencies with liaise with, they have nearly all changed their email signatures to include their pronouns. I think it’s great. And the other day at home I asked my seven year old something about someone (can’t remember who)…

Good news thread!

Yeah, he is exactly the person he said he was. If you were ok with what he said in 2016, I don't know what would have changed your mind since then.

“Okay, the first six hundred times we’re pretty sure you were joking, but this six hundred and first time we’re starting to wonder...”

I know a few Trump voters, but I don’t know a single one of them that is going to vote against him now. They would have to admit they were conned, and they sure aren’t interested in that. (Plus for most of them, it’s all about the SCOTUS and they’d vote for the decaying corpse of Charles Manson if it gave them a…

I know we want to win over 2016 Trump voters and honey works better than salt (or whatever), but if you voted for Trump in 2016 and you claim you didn’t know he was a piece of shit, then you are a liar or monumentally fucking stupid.

It’s weird to hear Trump disrespect those who served in the military after all the other times he’s done it and suffered no consequences.

With Kelly Marie Tran, the most frequent “complaint” I saw was that she just wasn’t sexy enough to deserve being in a movie. Not white enough and not skinny enough. The exact same vitriol that was thrown at Ella Jay Basco in the Harley Quinn movie.

I remember seeing articles about Kelly Marie Tran being harassed online, but I couldn’t understand why. Did people really care that one Asian woman was in the movie? Why would John Boyega’s casting be an issue? I can’t wrap my head around why this would matter! I know: Racism, but...It’s Star Wars.
